Chow! Venice: Savouring the Food and Wine of La Serenissima Customer Review: Absolutely buy this book!
If you only take one guidebook to Venice, make sure it’s this one. We took the 1st Edition along on our first trip to Venice last year and it changed a good holiday into an amazing experience.
There is a mouth-watering introductory section with guidance on what specialities to look out, very useful for a first timer. The main section reviews recommended bars, cafes and restaurants, usefully divided into geographical areas so you can easily plan an itinerary to fit in with sight-seeing. The enthusiasm of the authors for good food and for the city of Venice shines through on every page.
The reviews of bars and restaurants are completely honest and reliable, not only for the quality of food but also for the ambience and helpfulness of the staff. We didn’t have a single bad experience in visiting any of the places recommended in the book. The excellence of the food and the friendliness of the people we met are all part of our happy memories of this beautiful city.
Whether this is your first or fiftieth trip to Venice, you won’t regret buying this book.
Customer Review: A great way to have a great holiday in a great city
I have been to Venice twice now, and finding good restaurants the first time was very difficult. I have just come back from my second trip, and in five days we dined at six of the authors’ recommendations, and they were all excellent.
